AD NUMBER: 2012-03-52

SUMMARY: This emergency AD was sent previously
to all known U.S. owners and operators of these airplanes. This AD
requires inspecting the tail pitch trim assembly for correct
positioning and proper attachment and inspecting the Huck Bolt
fasteners for proper security with repair as necessary. The AD also
requires sending the inspection results to the FAA and Mooney. This
AD was prompted by a report of an incident on a Mooney Model M20TN
airplane regarding failure of the tail pitch trim assembly, which
could result in loss of control. The FAA is issuing this AD to
correct the unsafe condition on these products.
